The L.U.R.K. team wants to provide the best possible experience from Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, we don't plan to skew the scope of this game, because I, like many others, fell in love with the game because of the story, the realistic gameplay, and the atmosphere. I plan to preserve and improve on that concept to the best of my abilities, and our team has vowed to do so as well. Which is why we took it upon ourselves to provide that experience. We want to fulfill a niche that's otherwise unfulfilled in the modding community. We want to bring as many features to Stalker without damaging or changing the original theme of the game. While improving upon that concept with features that were dropped off the development cycle from GSC, such as stealth AI, and a strong foundation for balance, as well as dynamic A-Life, and an unprecedented visual presentation that no other Stalker Overhaul can touch.

How do I enable artifacts? Nobody seems to have posted the answer to this anywhere in any kind of forum searchable in google, so I answered the question myself.

It took my newb ass forever to find out how to get artifacts to work since I couldn't find anything after hours of searching through forums etc. thought I would sign up real quick so I could share. So here is how I got it to work...

go in gamedata > config > artifacts: open every single file except for artifact_base and location and change "belt" = true. Yeah you have to do it for every artifact individually so it'll take some time

Now go to gamedata > config: look for "max_belt" and set it to whatever you want, I set it to 8 since I thought it would fit with the visible slots and I never played the original game without this mod.

now you should be able to equip, I don't know if stacking artifacts is normal, effects should work properly but desription still doesn't show exactly what they do... google ftw.

I just hope everyone that is searching for this answer will be able to end their endless quest here... ^_^

Btw I think it's really messed up that the mod description said artifact effects are optional and only after looking for 4 hours straight do I find a comment from the mod author that the option isn't implemented yet... false hopes ftw. REALLY frustrating and fucking stupid!

Thanks alot, you saved me a lot of time, unfortunately I dont see belt slots on the ui so I cant unequip them, and the stats are missing from the descriptions so i dont exactly know the benefits and drawbacks of each artifact. any help in these areas?

go to to any stash in the game and you will be able to store artifacts as they will appear in your inventory, and then you can just leave the stash and come back and they wont automatically get put back on your belt.
